Okay, so I know I said one last question, but I have one more haha. Did you put a check valve before the PCV or do anything else to the PCV system?

Big step today. Something was completely screwed up with the Linux version, and it was unable to flash the bootloader. Works now, 2+ weeks to resolve the bootloader thing but moving forward.
Next step, hook it up to the 4Runner or some other vehicle just to make sure it can deal with a noisy environment, cars are the worst. Spurious resets or random behavior are the concern with noise.

Very cool project dude. Keep up the innovation/imagination!
Just curious, did you ever measure the oil pressure from the location you have your oil feed to the turbo?

Thanks, will do.
Nope, just ran the oil line into a bucket and started it. Watched oil squirt out, shut it off and called it good.
One thing I did notice is that oil kept coming out after I shut it off for at least a minute. Then I read about capillary bleed-down (Electric Oil Feed and Scavenge Pumps) and understood the need for a turbo timer on just the scavenge pump to suck all that oil out of the turbo after the engine is shut off. First set it at 30 seconds, that wasn't long enough, was getting oil leaking past the seals after shut off. Currently have it set at 1 minute and cured the problem, no more smoke screen at start up.

these are hands down the coolest and most interesting projects I've seen done on a 3rd gen 4runner. I'm hooked. Just read the thread from beginning to end... I'm psyched if I can just change a light bulb..... This is some serious mechanical ingenuity... You sure your not an engineer? Looking forward to more!
